TL;DR - They store vector embeddings and index them for efficient nearest-neighbor retrieval. Some also allow CRUD operations, metadata filtering, fault-tolerance, and all that jazz. Useful for things like semantic search, similarity search (of unstructured data), and recommender systems.
- Zababa 5y agoThank you for that, I don't know anything about vector databases so this was useful. I'm not sure if it's normal but the math formulas aren't rendered, they look like what I assume is latex text? But the diagrams are great to get an intuition.
- thirdtrigger 5y agoThis is also a great start (video) to learn about vector databases / vector search engines https://youtu.be/YkK5IKgxp-c https://youtu.be/YkK5IKgxp-c
